Rating for our thriller

We looked at different crime/thrillers and their ratings which was usually of a 15. We also asked our focus group 

what they'd say a thriller/crime is rated at usually and they gave us an answer of 15. We then looked through 

the different age ratings on the BBFC and from all this information put together we decided on our film being 

certificated at a 15 also this means that the film can only be viewed by people 15 and over. Our film has no 

drug content in it therefore it shouldn't be graded as a 18 as there is no need The BBFC website states that 15 

rated films may include "strong threat and manace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualise". We feel this 

comment describes our film well therefore it is being certificated as a 15.


Also we wanted to target an audience of about the age of 15 and also above to around the age of 25. By giving 

it a 15 certificate will allow our whole target audience to watch it.
